Bridal portrait photos captured at: Epping Forest Yacht Club, Jacksonville
Ceremony photography location: Beach United Methodist Church
In support of our Jacksonville art community and education, Favorite Photography recently participated in a fundraising event by donating a high school senior portrait session. An amazing mom bid on our gift certificate and won the auction for her daughter. Jessica, a talented and sweet graduate from Douglas Anderson School of the Arts, wanted a nice but also creative headshot for her resume as she heads off to college in Colorado. These are some of our favorites from the photo session!
Jessica has an exciting future ahead of her, and we’re so glad we got to capture her natural beauty!
Location: St. Johns County Agricultural Center
Jerry had so much fun with Angela and Todd at their engagement session at Washington Oaks Gardens State Park. They are a wonderful couple who love to have fun together!
Just look at Angela’s gorgeous smile! We loved how much they laughed together.
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Matanzas River, Washington Oaks makes such a beautiful location for engagement pictures. The colors of nature are always amazing, especially within this coastal hammock filled with majestic live oak trees, flower gardens, exotic vegetation, and lovely footpaths!
We then headed to the beach side of the park to wrap up the engagement session with a breathtaking background of coquina rocks and crashing waves. There’s nothing like looking out on the ocean and thinking about the possibilities of your life together!

There’s nothing quite as patriotic as an Americana themed wedding! We loved photographing the 4th of July wedding of Nick and Barb – they had some of the cutest details for their special day.
As the new year begins we are gearing up for another round of engagement and bridal sessions. Here is a sampling from Jaime’s bridal session at the elegant Epping Forest Yacht Club. She was such a beautiful bride and the sweetest person! Jaime and Jason were a perfect couple. We created a 12 inch square, custom bridal album and look forward to designing their large 11×14 wedding album next!

Family is such an important part of our lives and there’s nothing better than capturing the essence of parents and their children, both together in a group and as unique individuals. Favorite Photographygraphy.com/ portrait sessions are a fun experience and we shoot a variety of creative and traditional photos, including more candid lifestyle images. Our goal is to produce photographs a family will cherish.
Here is a sampling from a recent family photo session Jerry photographed at St. Augustine Beach. These are from our new, one-hour location portrait session which includes a digital download of all unadjusted images. This concept was created so everyone can enjoy amazing photographs at an affordable price. With all of our photo shoots, we include a free personal gallery online for sharing with family and friends.
We create beautiful photographs that are of the highest quality and require very little adjusting, with a timeless style that is not stuffy and will never be passé.
These photographs of the lovely Toon Family are highlights from their one-hour session.
We always photograph a variety of poses and include separate pictures of the children, just the mom and dad, and an assortment of the whole family group.
Jerry and Karen are both very experienced in setting up wonderful posed shots as well as knowing when to let families interact and respond naturally for capturing real expressions and more photo-journalistic images.
While we love color, stunning black and white photographs say so much and will never go out of style.
Some images are simply meant to be in black and white.
Creating a series in B&W in simple frames or canvas wraps add that personal touch to any home and can be added to year after year.
Though we tend to lean on the traditional side of portrait photography, we enjoy a variety of looks and special techniques.
Trendy vintage images provide an enchanting portrait. Since we start with a technically correct photograph, we can create any look from all of our images.
Special effects add a different feel to an already gorgeous picture.
Stylized color images offer an exquisite, modern feel.

It’s always refreshing and an absolute joy to work with happy couples in love. Our typical engagement session lasts about two hours and during that time we have a chance to be an artist, creating original pieces of photographic art and memories. It’s like having a blank canvas when you start out with two people, whom which are not paid models, and end up with many little masterpieces.
Jordan and Brian are a great example of how wonderful an engagement
photo shoot can be when you’re with someone you adore. Even though it
was super windy that day in Saint Augustine, their devotion and deep
affection for each other shine.
Castillo de San Marcos makes a fantastic backdrop for photos with scarred masonry walls and bright green lawn.
Historic downtown St Augustine has an endless supply of picture perfect scenery and textures.
These are just a select few from Jordan and Brian’s engagement session in our old city.
Vilano Beach is a lovely, nearby spot for a total change up in locations with an outfit change and all in time to catch the sun as it begins to set.

Velissa and Willie had a gorgeous wedding day at Embassy Suites Baymeadows in Jacksonville, Florida and Favorite Photography had the pleasure of being a part of it all.
They are another one of our amazing couples, so in love and great to work with! Jerry Favorite photographed all their special moments starting with candid, getting ready photos, the ceremony, formal family and wedding party photographs and a plethora of images throughout the reception celebration.
After the happy couple selected their favorite photographs from their wedding day, Jerry designed the custom montage album in Photoshop. Our archival photo books have ultra thick, seamless pages.
Velissa and Willie’s wedding album is a classic storybook they will have
to treasure for many years to come. Their “Tiffany” aqua blue and soft cream colors were bright and elegant. They had beautiful details and accents from flowers, jewelry, programs to favors and decorations. We love their wedding album and photographs and hope you enjoy them too!
